The organization of the genes for ribosomal RNA on mitochondrial DNA of Kluyveromyces lactis

Abstract
Summary We have constructed a physical map of Kluyveromyces lactis mtDNA using the restriction enzymes HindII and HindIII. In contrast to Saccharomyces, the genes for the large and small ribosomal RNAs are much closer to each other, being separated by a maximal distance of 2,250 base pairs.
